Wonderful school community! Everyone is very welcoming and inclusive. The teachers are passionate and the students enjoy the project based learning. Highly recommend! Close Quote

Glorified daycare!
This place is nothing but a an expensive and hyped up daycare. Too much teacher turn over. Administration does not accommodate parent needs. Too much ego within the administration. Teachers are not educated and trained well. It is a school for the "financially-gifted" who have extra money to spare for daycare needs. Agree with other post - it is a great fit for socially awkward kids. Teachers get moved around without any sense or purpose - for e.g. a home room teacher suddenly becomes a science teacher and a librarian suddenly starts to teach math! We spent 4 years at Nysmith with 2 kids before pulling them out...we had no choice back then. Close Quote

Expensive private school. Not worth the money. Teachers are hit or miss. Odd kids will do well socially here. Close Quote
